Hello there hosts and lurkers! Let me scribe something really quickly for you all as I've been procrastinating trying to do this and every time I log on, someone wanna talk. LIKE DAMN! CAN I JUST LURK IN PEACE! I've found myself turning the chat feature off sometimes when I need a break and wanna hide or need to focus on a confessional - ya'll were NOT kidding about things upticking in speed. WHEW BABY.
OH - speaking of, something I wanted to drop tea with is in case ya'll want to look in the chats that I've been using, I created that lurker chat and the password is thisisatest; Xander created the lurker_test room and the password is Cannabis. I'm sure they've shared but i have a feeling ya'll wanna read what's happening potentially, especially since i know the second chat was used today. We decided to hop on earlier today and had a pretty good conversation about how we wanna move, targets, etc. But I'll get into that in a second ig.
1. What type of player (strategic mastermind, social butterfly, under the radar, challenge beast, goat, wild card) are you trying to be at this stage of the game? How do you think your fellow tribe members perceive your current player type? Why?
Being honest, when I joined I thought I would be able to lay low and be like sociable enough to get by but not feel like I'm calling shots or anything. I guess this would be a mixture of UTR + social butterfly because I want people to know that I'm around and willing to play but Evvie also is the type of person to go ghost when they wanna lol. At least, that's my prerogative for the time being. I think I'm doing that but I feel like I'm being seen as the social butterfly or the 'potential flipper' by some people *cough
SARA cough*. I think the rest of the tribemates feel connected to me and perceive me to be a social threat in some capacity. I think it was
Abraham who told me today that he was loving how I am playing the game. I didn't want to dig deeper into that because I don't need everyone truly pegging the type of game I want to play so I let the compliment slide like wdym? Or maybe me ignoring the comment altogether was a signal like "YEAH BITCH I DO KNOW WHAT I AM DOING AND SLAYING YOUR FAVES ~*~*~*" lmaooo. I feel like the people that have shown up for me and want to keep me on their side are
Xander,
Abraham,
Deshawn,
Shan, and
Heather. I think for NOW, I'm doing a good job at nuzzling my way into these peoples' hearts.
2. Do you have the “right” Survivor rep? If not, what rep would you have chosen for yourself? If the Survivor rep we chose for you suits you, what qualities do you think you share? How are you making your rep work for you if you are?
So funny story, I don't remember if I said this in my first confessional when I joined buuuuut the host was trying to make me
Denise! And gave me lovely compliments about how they thought I could pull off
Denise but I just did not want to be
Denise. Like, I would have had it become a thing, but I'm *SO* glad that I can play as Evvie. Had I been
Denise, I would have been on the other tribe and I would have made it work, but ...I just feel like I'm in the right spot. For me, I feel like Evvie as a player in their original season was someone who was connected to people but got too caught up on the wrong side of the votes + didn't have strong relationships to keep them safe as time went on. I also feel like had Evvie not been on their original Yase and those players sans Liana were kinda on the outs, they would have been able to stay around longer. Maybe? Maybe not. Who knows. But I think I have the right person for this group. I think I'm making Evvie work for me because I'm talking to people and I also think that Evvie doesn't come across as being pushy. They seem more apt to just kinda going with the flow of things and having their opinion but not trying to force anything. Hell, the main thing has always been about keeping Evvie safe and locked into alliances. And baby, that's where I am and want to continue to try to be.
If I had to choose differently based on the reps that we have up for grabs in this season, I would have chosen Ricard. If I could choose based on just me getting to choose a rep to play as from any season, that's a hard question to answer right now. There's so many people to play as! I think I probably would have chosen Jeanine though, I used her as my rep in another game like late last year/earlier this year and we got far together lmao. But there are so many other great options for choices, Jeanine is just the first that came to mind.
3. Tomorrow is a challenge AND tribal council. Now that you have done one challenge for yourselves, what could be in store for you and your tribe? Think you can handle losing and having tribal council soon after?
I think that the double whammy that's coming today is definitely here to get the ball rolling and I'm ready for it. Now that I've done the first challenge, I know I can do the task at hand at least in the team component for the time being! Here's to hoping I can be of assistance this evening as well. Nothing too wild, please. The fact that we'll have TC the same night as our challenge means that tonight's challenge shouldn't be too wild or take too long and I'm looking forward to that.
Xander and
Abraham have been apparently looking at old forums of Stranded to try and get an idea of what the challenge could be for the evening which is very smart! I, however, am being extremely lazy right now and as soon as I start to go searching my adult ADHD starts to kick in and.....yeah, lol I forget what I was in there doing in the first place or even looking for. I'm going to let them do that heavy lifting right now and continue to act like royalty, getting all the info without having to do much of the work. How dare I?! No, but seriously, I'm just trying to coast for right now. IRL, I'm just trying to fight through life so I'm doing the best I can to stay in it with the upcoming challenges we will have. I do think that if we lose,
Danny is a simple vote.
Xander seems to believe that
Heather wants to come for the guys but that's not the vibe that I got.
Heather wanted to work with the guys if they weren't aligned as a trio and like those three guys MAY be aligned but I know
Xander and
Abraham are with me and now
Deshawn wants to make it the four of us which is perfectly fine because I'm already working with the other two. I truly can't help it that I'm so fucking popular. Evvie's charm strikes again! Like let's be real, I knew I wasn't going anywhere if I picked my feet up and actually talked to people and I'm glad I'm meeting people that want to work with me and seem chill. I do realize we have a bunch of fucking paranoid people on this tribe. Swear ya'll tryna send us to an early grave.
4. Speaking of challenges, what is your stance on physical players? Do you value people in the tribe who are good at challenges and want to keep them around even if they're not the best socially with you?
Physical players, stay around! You'll always be a bigger target than me and you'll also help me towards a victory! Even if they kinda suck socially with me, as long as I know that there are other people on the tribe that would cover my ass if we did end up at a tribal council, idgaf. I will ride the shit until the wheels fall off and if I need to pivot, then you best believe I will. I do think it's too early to figure out who the physical players are, though. Physical is also something that can be described in so many ways. Is it like the challengers who complete things fast? Is it the person who is always online and chatting people trying to strategize? Like, what is physical meaning in this case? I guess for me my mind went straight to challenges but strength in this case is social capital and awareness. I think threat level wise,
Abraham seems like a person who would be a huge physical asset and challenge beast.
Shan seems to be the second in command there and then I'm torn between a
Sara or a
Deshawn right now for physical capabilities. But that was solely off one instance. I'll wait and gather more findings later with these folx.
1. Xander (the person i feel like I can go to with anything and they get what I'm throwing down)
2. Shan (ugh, this is where she belongs in my personal ranking. she shared with me that she's a parent today and hopes that doesn't stop me from wanting to play with her like...what? mama that makes me love you more.)
3. Abraham (great person. it's also nice to have new friends to talk to all day)
4. Deshawn (I'm warming up to him, I really do like him but I haven't fallen in love with him yet)
5. Heather (she's in and out but i know she's in and on my side)
6. Sara (still computing my feelings on her but it's easier for me not to want to work with her for now even though she said we should look out for each other at the very beginning and has not followed up with shit since then so....yeah and I know she's scheming and plotting with others so i'm just gonna let that be.)
7. Danny (like, where the fuck is this man? Did he die in the wilderness? I do hope he's okay wherever he is.)
